This Christmas season we all came together to celebrate Life
The Life of Christ, our Rock, our Refuge, our Hope
and to celebrate Kristi
Our sister, our daughter, our mother and wife, our friend
one chosen by God to steward the story of cancer
Kristi has chosen the color purple as her symbol for her kind of Cancer
As a family whether we are together or far apart we can join the battle with her by wearing our purple.
On this Christmas we all donned our Purple in honor of her and what God is going to do in and through her.
"Purple is the color of good judgment. It is the color of people seeking spiritual fulfillment. It is said if you surround yourself with purple you will have peace of mind. Purple is a good color to use in meditation"
Daniel 5:29
Belshazzar did what he had promised. He robed Daniel in purple, draped the great gold chain around his neck, and promoted him to third-in-charge in the kingdom

Purple combines the stability of blue and the energy of red.
Purple in scripture signifies Honor and Royalty
Esther 8:15
[ The Triumph of the Jews ] When Mordecai left the king’s presence, he was wearing royal garments of blue and white, a large crown of gold and a purple robe of fine linen. And the city of Susa held a joyous celebration.

Jesus was dressed in Purple before his crucifixion

And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

Acts 16:14
One of those listening was a woman from the city of Thyatira named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.

Merry Christmas Sister! Together we will wear our purple with honor and go to battle for you along side the ONE who was stripped of His Royal purple robe for our Redemption and therefore we place our HOPE in Him alone!

Great Post! Great Family! Lots of Love to go around!
Wow Amy! I can't hold my tears in! I loved hearing all about PURPLE in the Bible!! What a perfect color for this battle! Thanks for the beautiful post! Really touched me!
There really are not words to express what it means to me that I have friends and family donning purple supporting my fight. To have a family that would forgo the cheery Christmas colors of red and green and donn all arrays of purple for me was humbling, strengthening and brought me great joy. Its the sweetest thing to see men (who would never wear purple) and women (who didn't own purple) and little children (who really want to be a part of this) put on their purple all on the same day to celebrate the HOPE and the PROMISES and SACRIFICES of our Lord. Amy, thank you for capturing the moment so well and for adding such depth and significance to it.
